Often we try to shy away taking pictures of moving objects since they get blur. However, if the camera setting allows one can take frozen motion shots. With some patience and practice one can master the technique of motion-frozen shots and can take stunning photographs of subjects in motion.

Try to take a photo of different moving subjects
at the fastest shutter speed your camera can afford, you will find
the difference. But that's not enough; you need to experiment with
the aperture size depending on light conditions or a flash along with
making your camera perfectly still.

Begin with by taking the frozen pictures of slow
moving subjects in the golden hour with a firm camera rest, using a
timer or remote shutter release by mounting the camera on a tripod.
In the house try your hand on a table or pedestal fan that has been
just turned off using a fast shutter speed. Take a few shots and you
may end with a frozen shot.

Look around to choose some subjects like a bird in
flight, a pet jumping from one place to another, a running animal, a
person diving into a pool, a person dancing on stage, people jumping
up in joy, someone throwing an object, etc.

After taking some common shots in the immediate
surroundings, take some action shots of sportspersons and do a bit of
wildlife photography at high shutter speeds using a tripod stand. It
is the moment that matters, therefore taken a few photographs in
quick succession.

Freeze-motion is used widely in action, sports,
and even wildlife photography. With these genres, it is quite common
to see shots of animals or sports celebrities making their move.
Timing is everything when freezing motion in a photo.

However, when you are experimenting with and
practicing to freeze motion, you should not ignore the other camera
techniques of photography. It needs to be understood that freezing
motion uses faster shutter speeds and using a wide aperture resulting
in shallow depth of field and the action of the subject standing out.
